A Lesson in the Home of the Holy Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

A Lesson for the Residents of Rishon LeZion ◆ A Short Excerpt from the Lesson ◆ Coverage from Within the Holy Sanctuary

The residents of the city of Rishon LeZion and its surroundings—students of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a and those drawing closer—were privileged to enter the holy sanctuary this evening, the night of the 2nd of Iyar, for a special lesson—words of the living G-d from our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a.

In the lesson, our teacher the Rav shlit"a spoke with novel insights and interpretations on the weekly Torah portion—Parashat Emor—while strengthening the public to recite the "Shnayim Mikra V'echad Targum" (two readings of the text and one of the translation). He also spoke of the secret of the wood-gatherer (Mekoshesh) in Parashat Shelach-Lecha, and other treasures of the holy Torah, with wonderful and pleasant insights.

Likewise, in the lesson, our teacher the Rav shlit"a spoke about the matter of Chushim ben Dan, who merited to sever the head of Esau. Before you are several fiery words from the lesson:

"Therefore, specifically Dan, who is the most chosen tribe, it is written that he [during the period in the desert] would return all lost objects. For the entire essence of the tzaddik is to return all lost objects. Rebbe Nachman says, 'I can [handle] all the lost objects.' Rebbe Nachman says, 'I can atone for all the sins in the world.' The entire matter of the Holocaust was because they did not know who the tzaddik is. If ten people had recited the Tikkun HaKlali, there would have been no Holocaust at all. The Tikkun HaKlali atones for all the sins in the world from all the incarnations, from the sin of Adam HaRishon."

After the lesson, which lasted about twenty-five minutes, the strengthened participants went out to the courtyard of the prayer hall for the Maariv prayer with fiery intensity, together with our teacher the Rav shlit"a.
